The Road Not Taken
the entire poem set from a first person point of view - he is alone making his own desires. more of an individualistic point of a view, but it can also lead to the loneliness that our individualism leads to or our belief that we are unique in our decisions that make us feel like we have no one to be there to join us in these decisions to help.

the doctors are very mechanical and have no feelings about the death - parallel man and machinery. humans are becoming mechanical. Death is final and irreversible, in whichever form it comes.
The impersonal tone suggests that the industrialisation and industrial revolution has made it hard for us to connect, to recognise human life as worthy regardless of the work it can do. Therefore, it leads to not only isolation, but a lack of empathy and care.
